“The peace and quiet of the locality coupled with the scenery would be difficult to find anywhere else.”

“This is a cottage is definitely in a remote destination & a great escape to rewind & recharge the batteries.”

The beach nearby is lovely & with the right weather a fantastic retreat for the day. There's plenty of good walking & local places to visit, park up & sit in awe of the ever changing scenery. A trip to Mull is a must & an island we would love to return too but be aware the ferry is not bookable for the return passage & puts added pressure on you especially in high season with a limited service to ensure you get a space on the boat - its an 80 mile diversion if you miss it!! Wildlife spotting is great with eagles up above, otters in the lochs & red deer visiting the pastures right in front of the cottage on a nightly basis.
However, the down sides : the main bed is just not adequate enough for 2 fully grown adults. After such a long drive to get there you want a bed that you can sleep in rather than be folded in half with a super soft mattress & an Ikea/B&Q at best bed frame that's low to the floor & not made to take anyone over the 12 stone threshold! My wife is also in a wheelchair & ramps to property starting to rot & although not sold out as a disabled cottagethe literature emphasises all on one level & open planned it lacks little aids that would just help a disabled client enjoy their stay that little bit more such as a simple arm bar to get on & off the toilet (which would have helped if it was a disabled height) or a rail in the shower to hold onto. Its also disappointing to find that TV didn't work (pre-warned as having signal issues) but fully operational & good Wifi signal which begs the question why there isn't a smart tv or box that operates through the internet. A little guide book of suggestions, eateries, food stores & places to visit would have also helped.

“Loved the location of Craigard, the cabin had everything you would need on your hols.”

Sanna beach is beautiful, saw seals in the bay and had deer in the surrounding fields. I would definitely return!

Mrs Webster SaaremetsJune 2018

“We loved this log cabin!”

Out of all the different places we have stayed in over the last 20 years, this is our favourite. The location is stunning -remote and with red deer wandering past. Mari the owner was so helpful and kind when we needed to ask something and the log cabin is large, spacious, warm and comfortable.
We brought nearly everything to cook with withus, but the local shop does stock basics.
Great trip to Mull and Staff to see eagles and dolphins. We will return.

“Peaceful, secluded setting, ideal to recharge those batteries, escape civilisation and take in nature at its stunning best.”

“Absolutely perfect place to get away from it all (but still have wi-fi!)”

The chalet is perfect for a couple with dogs and/or a small child (one bedroom). It's very well equipped and warm. Coming in October, we were prepared for the weather and brought books and DVDs (though there are plenty in the chalet). In spite of the wet and windy weather, we were out every day. Sanna Bay is only a mile away and is stunning. The local shop - Ferry Stores, Kilchoan, about 5 miles away - is very well stocked; you could live out of it for a week or two, but bring anything you'd REALLY miss. Sanna Spice (delivered) is a MUST - find it on Facebook. Good walks out of the front door eg to abandoned village of Glendrian. Ben Hiant about 7 miles from Kilchoan gives the best "bangs to the buck" of any mountain I've climbed - it's only a Marilyn, but the views are spectacular.

“Unspoilt retreat.”

A great location to get away from it all. If you're looking for peace and quiet then this is the cottage for you. The cottage is deceivingly big, comfortable, cosy and well equipped. The scenery is spectacular and a mile walk to beautiful Sanna beach, which is stunning. Depending on the weather the landscape changes colour and you never get the same view twice.
There is a local shop a short drive away which stocks all your essentials but my advice would be to take everything you need with you. There is a pub/hotel, where we had Sunday lunch, which was expensive and very disappointing, a fabulous Indian takeaway that delivers to your door piping hot and delicious food. The Isle of Mull is a must and the ferry crossing is in easy reach.
The scenery on the drive up to the cottage is stunning but the last 50 - 60 miles is not for the faint hearted! It literally is one single track road all the way, with many sharp bends and blind summits. Be prepared for a long and hazardous last leg of the journey.

“Cottage warm and spacious and in a lovely area.”

Down side was the black and moldey wood in the corners of the bedroom.
Cottage could do with some repair work.

“Perfect Peace in Ardnamurchan”

What a lovely place. A very large, well equipped wooden cabin, surrounded by fields and hills. Views of the small isles (Eigg, Rum, Muck and Canna) and the Cuillin hills of Skye in the distance, all absolutely beautiful. It is about a mile to the tiny village of Sanna, with a large sandy beach. On one day, we caught the ferry from Kilchoan to the beautiful town of Tobermory on the isle of Mull. We came home feeling very relaxed. I can't think of anything negative to say.

“The cottage is beautiful, spacious in a stunning location”

“Perfect peaceful get away”

This little cabin is the perfect get away. My partner and our 2 dogs spent a long weekend here back in March 2015. We loved the just being away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. For us it was a long 5 hour drive but worth it when we got there. Everything that you need is there from milk, to tea bags and coffee. We drove down to the beach with the dogs each day, white sands and clear water, it was like something off a post card. If you are going I would say to pack your food and essentials as the local shops are a bit of a drive. We had everything that we required for our trip that we spent our days at the beach and back in the cabin. If you are in to star gazing this is a perfect location, with no street lights and pitch darkness its just amazing to look at.

“The cabin was delightful.”

It's one downfall was the mattress..
That aside it was beyond our expectations and we will definitely be rebooking!

Miss TelferDecember 2016

“Fantastic holiday in a beautiful lodge.”

Very well presented, clean and cozy. Will definitely go back soon. Kara

“Sarah”

If you are looking to "get away from it all" this is the place. Craigard is well equipped and has everything you need to be comfortable. The location is perfect and in March we had great weather. Plenty of great hill walking nearby but Sanna beach is also wonderful - saw 2 young sea otters playing. Remember your binoculars to capture all the wildlife! Can't wait to return.

“Unique location”

If you are looking for somewhere remote, tranquil (apart from the occasonal howling gale) surrounded by a ring of rocks formed from an extinct volvano this is the place for you. The setting and atmosphere are unquie. The log cabin is exceptionally well appointed and we wanted for nothing.

“Stunning location”

We stayed here in some terrible weather but the cabin was cosy and comfortable. Fortunately it was equipped for loss of power as it went out due to high winds which also caused the satellite dish to be blown around. Which was a shame,because it was impossible to go out and watching TV would have passed some time
That being said we had a good time and perhaps coming later in the year would have been advisable to really appreciate the wonderful scenery in this remote part of Scotland.

“Cant wait to go back!”

We went to celebrate our daughters 3rd birthday - and spend some quite together. We had the most wonderful time. The owner of the cabin is lovely, and easy to contact should you need anything. We arrived after a long drive, and the cabin was so welcoming. Lovely and warm, everything there you could need.
The location is perfect to visit places you couldn't do in a day - for example the ferry to Tobermory is 10 min drive, you have the most western point of main land Britain a short drive away. You are 5 minutes drive from one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen in Britain.
There is a local general store not too far, and the local people were lovely.
The position of the cabin gives you the most wonderful view.
We were so sad leaving, and are already trying to figure out when we can go back!

The property

Kilchoan 5 miles.

This very comfortable and hi-spec log cabin has been tastefully furnished and lovingly equipped to provide every possible comfort for visitors to this beautiful and remote part of the Scottish Highlands.

Situated in a small and friendly hamlet on the owner's croft, this Highlands cottage would suit a couple who want to embrace the tranquillity and beauty of the area.

The accommodation in this Highlands cottage is all on one level, and is bright and airy with a spacious double bedroom situated just off the stunning open plan living area.

A sofa bed in the sitting area provides flexibility for guests, and double doors lead out onto a fabulous veranda with settee and seating areas, ideal for watching the eagles soaring overhead and soaking up the sea and mountain views.

A quiet single track road leads down from your Highlands cottage to Sanna Beach, a big stretch of quiet golden sand with clean blue sea for swimming in.

The village of Kilchoan provides good local services as does nearby Tobermory on the Isle of Mull.

The whole area is great for exploring and would suit walkers and cyclists but it is doubtful that guests will want to stray far from this wonderful Highlands cottage and fabulous location.

Accommodation

All ground floor. One double bedroom. Shower room with shower, basin and WC. Open plan living area with fitted kitchen, dining area and sitting area with sofa bed for flexibility.

About the location

KILCHOAN

Tobermory 7 miles (via ferry).

The pretty village of Kilchoan is the most westerly village in mainland Britain, situated on the stunning Ardnamurchan Peninsula and surrounded by magnificent mountains and breathtaking coastal views. The area close to Kilchoan offers a choice of quiet sandy beaches and an abundance of wildlife with eagles regularly spotted overhead. Until 1900 the village was only accessible by sea, but now access is via a single track road that leads through some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland. The village has good local services including a shop, pub and restaurant, and from Mingary Pier there is a regular ferry service across the Sound of Mull to Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull. Tobermory offers visitors enhanced services and it is quite feasible to take the ferry across for a nice meal out in one of Tobermory’s restaurants or perhaps do a little shopping? A short drive away is Ardnamurchan Point complete with its own lighthouse and visitors centre which is well worth a visit, or perhaps you simply want to sit on the glorious Sanna beach and enjoy the views across the clear blue sea to the islands of Muck, Eigg, Rum and Canna?
